Jets GM Joe Douglas doesn’t sound optimistic about Haason Reddick resolution
NY Post
Jets general manager Joe Douglas publicly addressed the Haason Reddick holdout for the first time Thursday, and he did not paint an optimistic picture.
Douglas said he has not spoken directly to Reddick since the defensive end was in the Jets’ building April 1, and there have not been any recent conversations with Tory Dandy, Reddick’s agent.
“The ball is in their court, and whenever he is ready to come here, we can’t wait to have him,” Douglas said.
The Jets traded with the Eagles for Reddick at the end of March, hoping he could give their defense a boost as a pass rusher after they lost Bryce Huff — to the Eagles — in free agency.
Reddick was unhappy with his contract in Philadelphia, which calls for him to be paid $14.25 million this season.
The Jets offered Reddick a contract extension before the trade was made but he declined.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
